Virtual private server
Services such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Linode, Microsoft Azure,
Digital Ocean, and others allow you to set up Ubuntu Server in the cloud for you to
connect to and manage via
OpenSSH
. Choosing the
Virtual Private Server
(
VPS
)
option has some benefits; you don't need to find room for a large physical server,
and you don't need to worry about power usage either. Another benefit is that you
won't even need to go through the installation process in this chapter at all; the cloud
provider will do that for you when you choose to deploy Ubuntu Server on their
platform. The main downside, though, is that VPSes are not free—you'll need to
look at the costs associated with running Ubuntu on such a server and decide if that
cost makes sense. Some VPS services allow you to set up instances for as little as 5
USD per month, which can be lower than the cost of the electricity needed to run a
physical server in some areas.
